1st, learn how to post pics. Next, learn how to search instead of opening a new thread for questions.

Nice choice of color and welcome/congrats on getting a G.

And to answer your question. Its all relevant to your budget.

Clear corners, rims, projectors, coils/springs, ztube/cai, exhaust, md spacer?
Too many stuff. Like I said, post a budget/comfortable spending amount and you'd get a better/accurate answer.

Side pipes, rear air shocks, 750CFM carb and maybe some 15x10 rear wheels and 15x7 front with 305/65/15 and 205/80/15 tires..

Nobody knows you and nobody knows what you like, so why would you ask a bunch of strangers what to do to your car? What I like is not the same as what the next guy likes. I may be all about power and you are all about looking good slow...Please research your likes.

Welcome to the site though.

Generally speaking, Dude, whatever time & money allows you to do. And no matter what I suggest, it's all about what you like regarding cosmetics and power adders. Me, I went the poseur-boy route 1st, though some would comment that I'm still posing with the usual 280 hp on tap. (You's guys be quiet .......I'm not kidding!! Dammit.)

For me, being in South Florida, my plan involved going straight from the dealer to my window tint guy (cost: 80 beans). Then, about 2 weeks later to my wheel & tire peeps for the black 20" wheels (about 2,200).............which, BTW, would look quite nice on your Caribbean Blue. JDM Skyline badge conversion was the next order of business.

In fact, add some smoked tail & headlamps - at least the tails - you'd be looking unique on the road.

If you like the way it sits on 20s, no drop necessary. Mine sat for almost 4 years 'fore I did my wimpy baby-drop using Tein 350Z H-Techs (.8 front / .7 rear)..........but that was part of the plan.

Or, if you hadn't saved & stashed $2,500 like I did, why not do the drop and smoke the lamps for some distinction. Depending on whether you're a technically proficient DIY-guy (I'm not), it could be anywhere from a $200-300 to $700-800 job.

Remember, our cars look bada$$ in bone-stock base configuration and I've witnessed 3 or 4 with painted stock wheels - 18"s and 19"s - combined with a drop...........no other changes. Still was POPPIN! Brought on double-takes, wide eyes, and neck-breaking turns of the head. It was like Whoa........that looks sweet!!

All we ask is that you post pictures - you knew that, and last but not least, welcome to the The Driver. We look forward to seeing what your vision is.

Meanwhile, 'cause she like to run, I recommend:

1. Safety first
2. Drive it like you stole it
3. No tickets!!
4. And keep 'er outta the ditch.

Welcome to the forum! I'd recommend some wheels, but that's cuz I'm not crazy about the stock ones.
